2.1.3 EXPERIMENT TASKS
The following tasks are completed by each participant on their preferred technical device.
Typing task: • A non-sensical paragraph: participants try to re-type the text as fast as possible and with the upmost accuracy in terms of punctuation and capital/lower case letters (see appendix 6 for text used).
Cognitive tasks – adopted from Cognitive Fun (n.d.): • Fast Counting: A series of dots appear for a certain period on screen, participants type how many dots they counted. • Go/No-Go Visual Reaction Time: A circle appears on screen, if it is green participants promptly press on it, if it is patterned, they ignore the dot. • Visual Backward Digit Span: Three numbers, one by one, appear on screen. Participants recall the numbers that are flashed in backwards order.
